Jatinga Country Lodge, Nelspruit Nelspruit offers an exciting range of characterful accommodation, especially with the taste of the Kruger National Park in the air. Jatinga Country Lodge is in the neighbouring village of White River, up a high hill overlooking Nelspruit, and even closer to the gateway to the Park. Famed for its gardens, historic buildings and fine cuisine, Jatinga... More

What an amazing experience. One of the best levels of service I have ever experienced. We arrived after a long drive to get to Jatinga. It is beautifully designed and looks like a piece of heaven compared to the area that you drive through to get there. Lovely manicured gardens what looks like colonial buildings. The Luxury rooms are a... More

Only stayed one night on route to Joberg airport from the Sabi Sands game reserve What a lovely place, with an almost colonial feel about it. The grounds are so lovely with woods, river, meadows all together. Such a welcome contrast with the dry Kruger area i had just come from The food was fantastic and the service absolutely first...

Once you find it, Jatinga Country Lodge is an absolute delight. A colonial legacy, it certainly evoked in those days (not that I can remember!) With its sofas on the veranda and staff ready and willing to meet your every need, especially when I needed a charging lead for my camera batteries and they cobbled one together for me. Perhaps...

We chose Jatinga as a Wedding Venue for our recent Wedding which took place on the 2nd June 2012. We could not have chosen a better venue and could not have asked for it to go any better. The venue itself is exquisite, the gardens are beautiful, the Chapel is breath taking and the accommodation is just perfect. We had... More

We stayed two night at this beautiful and well maintained hotel. Rooms are large with a nice balcony overlooking the beautiful hotel gardens. Breakfast was very good and complete although the service is low... The food is good. They need to improve the cleaning of the bathroom that was full of mold spots....

We recently stayed at Jatinga, and founfd the place to be an absolute gem! The rooms were spacious, clean, well fitted out. The food was very well presented and delicious. The manager, Mike, went out of his way to make this a special stay for us. The only thing is that the hotel is rather quiet, both good and bad.... More

The wife and I celebrated our 20th anniversary in Room 7 at Jatinga and I would recommend it for a secluded, very quiet and romantic get away. The rooms are well appointed, large and airy with a lovely verandah overlooking the enormous established and well maintained garden. TV is adequate (but who wants to watch TV in such a great... More

We stayed at Jatinga for one night as it was closer to the airport for the next morning. We had dinner at Jatinga which was very romantic as it was just us and one other table of one. The wine cellar was really nice. The dinner was okay but the service was excellent. The breakfast however was really really good!... More

We arrived late afternoon on the southern approach track which can only be described as needing much attention. However, the welcome, accommodation, grounds, food and the attention we received exceeded our expectations. We were just sorry that we were staying only one night. Our luxurious semi detached bungalow (huge bedroom and enormous ensuite) was located in the impressive and peaceful... More
